Whitelisting chaos

[Thomas Carter <tcarter () AUSTINCOLLEGE EDU>]

Everyone everywhere wants everything they ever interact with whitelisted in the firewall or email filters (this may be 
a bit of hyperbole).  How do you handle these requests? How do you keep up with them all, who requested them, etc? Do 
they have an expiration time or are they reviewed to see if they are still valid?

What's your secret to minimizing the mess that this can easily become?
